Try Lonnie Bird's "The Bandsaw Book"

Look also for the Duginski DVD from Taunton. Good value and very informative to see the chap actually using his methods.

Like PTC says, just go to your library and you'll walk out with half a dozen books on bandsaws, inc the Duginski.
Beats me why the local library is such an underused resource. Its free, they'll order in any book you want and the coverage is huge, Ours, has a whole shelf on ww and metalwork plus the Taunton (and other) videos.
Only downside are the librarians, talk about PC, I find it safest to avert one's eyes and only say please and thank you.Bodgy
